Not sure where I am meant to be posting this but I want to say a huge thanks to Martin for his invaluable website. Since subscribing we have taken some of his advice and I would like to share our outcomings with everyone.

On Martins advise, we waited until prompted to change our gas & electricity and was awarded with our £15.00 cashback and cheaper utility bills.

We use call checker all the time to make cheap calls to Australia & Thailand. My mother and brother lives in Australia and my father lives in Thailand. I was able to call my mother and talk for nearly 50 mins and it cost me approx 25p. I also use the prefix numbers to call 0870 and 0845 numbers.

We then took Martins advice and changed our telephone package to TalkTalk 3 International. It was set up and installed within 3 weeks and broadband is fantastic. I can now call my mum & brother for free and my aunt in Greece.
I would highly recommend Talk Talk - they have been fantastic and such a huge saving on our phone bill.

We then took advantage of Will Aid. My husband and I made a joint will and made a small donation.

Finally, I took advantage of the Amazon Loop Hole on postage and packaging. I wanted a book which was only 3.99 but by ordering the free Hellmanns sandwich book I was able to overcome the postage. I have received the book and there are some fabulous ideas for sandwiches.

A huge thank you to Martin Lewis and the website.

p.s. I also ordered your new book from play.com. Was 5.99 with free p & p. Received the book several days ago. Fantastic.

Hope you have a magical xmas and healthy new year.
